SfM Stratified Random: SfM Derived Adult Coral Annotations

Initials of person that annotated the imagery

4-digit year the survey was conducted (DATE).

Mission identifier.

Code for the region surveyed in the Pacific Islands region: American Samoa, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Mariana Archipelago, main Hawaiian Islands, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

Name of island or atoll surveyed in the Pacific Islands region.

The code for the site surveyed at the island or atoll (ISLAND). Combines a 3-letter island code (ISLANDCODE) with a 5 digit site number.

Unique identifier created each time a SITE is surveyed on a DATE_.

The zone for the given SITE (Forereef, Backreef, Protected Slope, Lagoon).

Classification of depth (shallow, mid, deep) based on midpoint between minimum and maximum depths of transect(s) of a given SITE. Shallow: >0-6 m, Mid: >6-18 m, Deep: >18-30 m

Local date the survey was conducted.

3-letter code for habitat type (e.g. aggregate reef, reef rubble, pavement).

Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the given SITE.

Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84 for the given SITE.

Maximum SITE depth (m).

Minimum SITE depth (m).

Transect identifier (A or B). Any data entered under transect B was used for ANALYST-to-ANALYST calibration.

Code which combines the site code (SITE) and the 1 digit SEGMENT surveyed.

Segment number (0,5,10,15). Segments are within a TRANSECT and are typically 1 x 2.5 m in size and situated 2.5 m apart starting at the 0m, 5m, 10m, and 15m transect length.

Segment length (m).

Segment width (m).

Flag (-1) to indicate no corals present.

Unique coral colony identifier. COLONYID = NULL if NO_COLONY = -1 or SPCODE = NULL.

4-letter code for coral species identification. AAAA if a SEGMENT was surveyed and no individual colonies were found (NO_COLONY = -1).

Flag (-1) to indicate a coral with a max diameter that expands past image boundaries.

Flag (-1) to indicate a juvenile coral.

Flag (-1) to indicate that the observed coral colony is a fragment and not attached to the substrate. 0 indicates the coral was not a fragment.

Flag (-1) to indicate a coral as a remnant colony who's max diameter (Shape_Leng) cannot be determined.

Percentage of older dead coral (0-100%), as opposed to recently dead coral recorded in RECENTDEAD. Required.

Code for coral morphology type (branching, columnar, encrusting, etc.). NULL if NO_COLONY = -1.

Code for the cause of recently dead (freshly denuded skeleton not fouled by algae) coral recorded in RD_1. Required if RD_1 is >0.

Percentage of recently dead (freshly denuded skeleton not fouled by algae) coral (0-100%), as opposed to older dead coral recorded in OLDDEAD.

Code for the cause of recently dead (freshly denuded skeleton not fouled by algae) coral recorded in RD_2. Required if RD_2 is >0.

Percentage of recently dead (freshly denuded skeleton not fouled by algae) coral. Only used if more than one cause of coral mortality was observed (RD_1 >0).

Code for the cause of recently dead (freshly denuded skeleton not fouled by algae) coral recorded in RD_3. Required if RD_3 is >0.

Percentage of recently dead (freshly denuded skeleton not fouled by algae) coral. Only used if more than two causes of coral mortality were observed (RD_1 and RD_2 >0).

Code for the condition/disease observed affecting the coral colony (e.g., bleaching, infection, infestation, pigmentation response, growth anomaly, etc.), but which does not cause recent dead.

Extent of condition/disease observed on coral colony (1-100). Required if CON_1 is recorded (<> 'NDZ).

Severity of condition/disease observed on coral colony (scale of 1-3 from least to most severe). SEVERITY required only if CON_1 = BLE or BLP.

Code for the condition/disease observed affecting the coral colony (e.g., bleaching, infection, infestation, pigmentation response, growth anomaly, etc.), but does not cause recent dead.

Extent of condition/disease observed on coral colony (1-100). Required if CON_2 is recorded (<> 'NDZ).

Severity of condition/disease observed on coral colony (scale of 1-3 from least to most severe). SEVERITY required only if CON_2 = BLE or BLP.

Condition/disease observed affecting the coral colony (e.g., bleaching, infection, infestation, pigmentation response, growth anomaly, etc.), but does not cause recent dead.

Extent of condition/disease observed on coral colony (1-100). Required if CON_3 is recorded (<> 'NDZ).

Severity of condition/disease observed on coral colony (scale of 1-3 from least to most severe). SEVERITY required only if CON_3 = BLE or BLP.

Length of coral colony (m). Required. Shape_Leng = NULL if NO_COLONY = -1.
